BACKGROUND:Cannabidiol is effective in ameliorating the body's inflammatory response,but no clear mechanistic studies have been conducted to ameliorate skeletal muscle inflammation induced by exhaustive exercise. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism by which cannabidiol improves skeletal muscle inflammation during exhaustive exercise by using transcriptome sequencing technology. METHODS:Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups:blank control group,exercise coconut oil group,exercise control group,50 mg/kg cannabidiol group,60 mg/kg cannabidiol group,and 70 mg/kg cannabidiol group,with six rats in each group.Except for rats in the blank control group,rats in each group were subjected to swimming exercise for 9 days to produce the exhaustive exercise model.At the end of each swimming exercise,rats in the cannabidiol groups were given 2 mL of fat-soluble cannabidiol at different concentrations(50,60,and 70 mg/kg)by gavage;rats in the exercise coconut oil group were given the same volume of coconut oil by gavage until the end of the exercise on the 9th day;and rats in the blank control group and the exercise control group were not given any special treatment.The levels of inflammatory factors and differentially expressed genes in the skeletal muscle of rats in each group were determined using ELISA and transcriptome sequencing techniques.Differentially expressed genes obtained were subjected to KEGG analysis,and the accuracy of the sequencing data was verified by fluorescence quantitative PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results of ELISA showed that the contents of interleukin-6(P<0.05),tumor necrosis factor-α(P<0.01),interleukin-10 and other inflammatory factors in the exercise group increased significantly compared with the blank control group and the coconut oil group.After cannabidiol intervention,the mass concentrations of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α showed a sequential decrease with increasing cannabidiol concentration.By comparing GO and KEGG databases,the functional properties of differentially expressed genes were analyzed,and the results showed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway and the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway.RT-qPCR results showed that the trends of five randomly selected differentially expressed genes were in agreement with the transcriptome sequencing results.To conclude,cannabidiol can improve skeletal muscle inflammation caused by exhaustive exercise.

This paper summarizes Professor LIU Fengbin's clinical experience in treating autoimmune liver disease （AILD） using the method of nourishing yin and removing stasis based on stage differentiation. He believes that the pathogenesis of AILD generally involves both deficiency in essence and excess in manifestation， with essence deficiency often presenting as liver and kidney yin deficiency， which may progress to spleen deficiency and yang deficiency over time. The excess manifestation commonly includes qi stagnation， blood stasis， damp-heat， and phlegm toxicity. Clinically， he advocates for the treatment principle of nourishing yin and removing stasis. On the foundation of nourishing liver and kidney yin， different pathological factors causing stasis are eliminated according to their nature. Treatment is also tailored to different stages of AILD. In the early and asymptomatic stages， liver qi stagnation and spleen deficiency are prominent， warranting a therapeutic approach of soothing the liver， regulating qi and strengthening the spleen. The modified Chaishao Qizhi Decoction （柴芍气滞汤） is used. During the symptomatic stage， pathogenic factors become more pronounced， often accompanied by a significant deficiency of vital qi， with damp-heat， water retention， and phlegm toxicity as key pathological features. The treatment should focus on strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness， using modified Sijunzi Decoction （四君子汤） combined with Yinchen Wuling Powder （茵陈五苓散）. In the liver function decompensation stage， vital qi is severely deficient while pathogenic factors persist， with damp-heat， phlegm toxicity， and blood stasis obstructing the liver collaterals. Treatment should focus on nourishing blood， softening the liver， strengthening the spleen， and resolving stasis， using the modified Ruangan Yangxue Decoction （软肝养血汤）. Throughout the treatment process， emphasis is placed on tonifying the liver and kidneys while protecting yin fluids.

Enamel demineralization, the formation of white spot lesions, is a common issue in clinical orthodontic treatment. The appearance of white spot lesions not only affects the texture and health of dental hard tissues but also impacts the health and aesthetics of teeth after orthodontic treatment. The prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of white spot lesions that occur throughout the orthodontic treatment process involve multiple dental specialties. This expert consensus will focus on providing guiding opinions on the management and prevention of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment, advocating for proactive prevention, early detection, timely treatment, scientific follow-up, and multidisciplinary management of white spot lesions throughout the orthodontic process, thereby maintaining the dental health of patients during orthodontic treatment.

Objective: For patients with elevated hematocrit (Hct), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) apheresis is prone to red blood cell contamination—commonly referred to as “flushing” or erythrocyte carryover—which compromises product quality and therapeutic efficacy. This study reports two clinicaly derived measures to mitigate this issue. Methods: For 21 patients with Hct ≥53%, intravenous 0.9% sodium chloride infusion before apheresis process (replacement method, n=13) or 0.9% sodium chloride fluids hemodilution within the centrifuge bowl during PRP apheresis process (dilution method, n=8) were given, respectively. The collection time, adverse reactions, and the celluar composition of PRP—including white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelet counts—were recorded and compared. Results: Neither method resulted in visible RBC contamination (“flushing”). The red blood cell counts [(0.021±0.014)×10 /L vs (0.019±0.011)×10 /L, P>0.05], white blood cell counts [(2.258±3.288) ×10 /L vs (0.557 5±1.203) ×10 /L, P>0.05], and platelet counts [(1 140±308.2)×10 /L vs (1 105±309.9)×10 /L, P>0.05] in the PRP products obtained by two methods all met the control standards of PRP. There was no significant difference [(2.268±0.927) vs (2.438±0.762) mL/min, P=0.669 2] between the two methods in terms of the speed of PRP collection. One case of adverse reaction occurred with the fluid replacement method, while no adverse reaction occurred with the dilution method. Conclusion: For patients with elevated Hct, both fluid replacement and dilution methods can effectively prevent RBC contamination during PRP collection, yielding products that meet clinical quality standards.

Chinese medicine therapy for removing gallstones is one of the methods for the treatment of cholelithiasis.In the view of Professor Liu Fengbin,attacking of external pathogens,improper diet and emotional disorders contribute to the main causes of cholelithiasis,and the pathogenesis of cholelithiasis is due to qi stagnation of both liver and gallbladder,and internal obstruction of damp-heat.The occurrence of cholelithiasis is closely related to deficiency of spleen and stomach,and is correlated with the pathological factors of turbid phlegm and blood stasis.For the Chinese medicine treatment of cholelithiasis,Professor Liu follows the principle of"treatment in accordance with three categories of etiological factors"(i.e,seasons,environment and body constitution).He advocates the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine,and is good at utilizing Lingnan herbs and distinctive herbs that can dissolve stones and remove stones.The treatment for cholelithiasis is mainly through the therapies of soothing liver and alleviating depression,clearing heat and removing dampness,and normalizing gallbladder function to remove stones,and is also supplemented by the therapies of invigorating spleen and replenishing qi,regulating qi to resolve phlegm,and activiting qi movement and blood circulation.Modified Da Chaihu Decoction plus Sijin Decoction is often used as a basic formula for treating cholelithiasis,which is mainly composed of Desmodii Styracifolii Herba,Galli Gigerii Endothelium Corneum,Bupleuri Radix,Curcumae Radix,Scutellariae Radix,Aucklandiae Radix,Aurantii Fructus Immaturus stir-fried with bran,Paeoniae Radix Rubra,Linderae Radix,and Rhei Radix et Rhizoma.

Pleckstrin homology-like domain family A member 1(PHLDA1)is a pro-apoptotic factor as well as a key regulator of metabolic diseases.In obesity-related diseases,PHLDA1 can reduce liver triglyceride production through inhibition of the expression of sterol regulatory?element binding proteins?1(SREBP?1),and reduce fat syn?thesis through inhibition of peroxisome proliferator?activated receptor γ(PPARγ).However,in cardiovascular dis?eases,PHLDA1 increases vascular calcification,dysfunction,thereby aggravates ischemia?reperfusion injury in the heart and brain.The dual role of PHLDA1 has also been confirmed in tumors.In summary,PHLDA1,as a multi?functional factor,plays different functional roles through various mechanisms.

Public cell culture platform is an important facility in laboratory animal facilities, providing essential support for scientific research such as the development of animal tumor disease models and transgenic animals. By establishing a public cell culture experimental platform, laboratory animal centers can effectively integrate experimental animals and cell culture resources, optimizing the allocation of scientific research resources to facilitate better research outcomes. The majority of cells cultured in these platforms are used for animal experiments. Contamination or quality issues in these cells not only affect experimental results but also jeopardize the health of experimental animals, potentially leading to microbial infections and contamination of entire animal facilities. Therefore, public cell culture laboratories within experimental animal facilities impose stricter quality control measures than conventional cell culture rooms. This study takes the public cell culture platform at the Laboratory Animal Center of Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a case study to discuss management experiences, focusing on facility maintenance and management, personnel management and quality control of cell biological risk. The aim is to provide useful reference for the management of public cell culture laboratories in experimental animal facilities and other institutions.

Objective: To understand and assess the current situation of primary and secondary school students health services in community health service organizations in Shenzhen, so as to provide a basis for upgrading the capacity of health services. Methods: A total of 684 community health service organizations and 587 part time health vice principals in the Shenzhen City were selected for the study in June 2022, and the special questionnaire surveys regarding primary and secondary school students health service capacity and the community health service organizations and part time health vice principals performance ability were administered in Shenzhen. SPSS 26.0 software was used for a descriptive analysis. Results: The staffing rate of general practitioners or clinical physicians in Shenzhen s community health service organizations was 99.9%, 67.1% of community health service organizations established counterpart collaborative relationships with schools, 50.8% of community health service organizations provided diagnostic and treatment services for students, 24.8% of community health service organizations provided health check up services for students, 85.2% of community health service organizations provided health guidance to schools, and 94.3% of community health service organizations had a part time vice principal of health with a score of (7.63±1.59) in the self assessment of their ability to carry out their duties, and space constraints and shortage of nursing were the main problems in promoting student medical check ups in the community health service organizations. Conclusions The community health service organizations in Shenzhen suffer from inadequate medical service resources and inadequate training for professional staff, resulting in low service capacity for providing physical examinations and health management for primary and secondary school students. There is a need to further promote the integrated development of education and health, and continuously enhance service capabilities, to promote the orderly development of student health work.
